Its leaking :( posted by mentor on September 14, 2003 at 14:39:50: stick a 2x4 or something "soft" under the crank pulley and support it with a jack. jack up the tranny too so there's no stress on the crossmember. then drop the crossmember down by unbolting the 2 bolts on each engine mount, then the 2 bolts on each end of the crossmember. then pull the oil pan off and go to town cleaning gaskets. be sure to get the surface really clean, otherwise it won't seal up again. The other way to do it is to take it to a muffler shop, drain the oil, clean the area well, then have them braze or weld the thing shut. paint over it so it doesn't rust, then refill with oil and drive away. :) Replys:
